The Zombie Fallout Series made it into almost all of my top 2011 lists and still remains one of my most recommended zombie books. I first read Zombie Fallout in July 2011 and then went on to read Zombie Fallout 2 and 3, all one after the other. The story doesn't really leave you hanging, but there's no actual "conclusion". I suspect that the next book in the series will cover more of this theme.
There is a thread of supernatural stuff in the book, but this is not fully explained. it's about a man and his family facing a zombie apocalypse, and while the source of the zombies is touched on, there is not a lot of explanation as to how/why. men farting in public type humor - which gets a bit old after awhile - but wasn't annoying enough to ruin the story. Oh, and it's not a "man sets out to reach point B" story either.It's advertised as a "journal style" book but, other than a couple chapters inserted by other characters, and outright references within the story to it being a journal, it does not have the feeling of a journal based book (such as in Day by Day Armageddon, which, btw, you should read if you like zombie books)There is some humor in the book, though it's really bathroom-based, i.e. It is not light-hearted, nor is it a political conspiracy, both of which make it a bit different than the other zombie books I've read recently. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it actually had a different tone than many in this genre. Even within Talbot's own squad there are mutinous whispers.Another story about zombies. Meanwhile, aboard the floating city, the USS Jimmy Carter, a malcontented faction is hatching plans of violence and insurrection. There is a magic here, though, that Michael never dared hope for. The mission becomes perilous and terrifying all may not survive.Ībove ground, zombies have made startling progress, and the team faces a powerful necromancer who controls an army of the dead.
In a concealed laboratory, buried deep underground, the squad discovers a monstrous super-race that will either be humanity's greatest weapon or deliver a blood soaked end to their existence. Undermanned and with scant resources, Michael Talbot's squad of misfits is ordered to retrieve classified data of the utmost imperative. Hidden miles into the desert is a secret weapon that, if unleashed, will bring peace-but at the risk of total annihilation. Isolated villages survive behind locked doors under constant threat of a war on two fronts a war the living cannot win.
The densely packed cities are abandoned and in ruins.
